Lord of War

Under the night, a carriage was speeding along the mountain road.

Because it was a cloudless night, the bright and clear moonlight was able to fall on the ground in patches, and naturally they could clearly see the scene of the carriage in distress.

Perhaps because of the speed, when the carriage was running, the wheels hit a raised stone, and the entire carriage even lifted off the ground. However, this kind of suspension didn't last for too long, probably a second or less, and then the carriage fell heavily back to the ground. It was also fortunate that the carriage was strong enough, otherwise, with such a heavy fall, even if the carriage was fine, the wheels would probably have problems.

However, seeing that dozens of arrows have been inserted into the carriage at this time, so densely packed that they are almost turning into hedgehogs, one can imagine how the carriage was treated before.

After the carriage landed heavily, the carriage was still running crazily, without even the slightest thought of stopping.

At this moment, dozens of figures suddenly appeared on both sides of the mountain road.

These people just stood on both sides of the mountain road, and then crossed their left arms in front of their chests, and put a small mechanical crossbow bolt on their arms with their right hands, and suddenly pulled the trigger, a burst of locust arrows poured down from both sides of the mountain road. .

"Ingenious crossbow!"

In the carriage, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Listening to the voice, it was obviously Cecilia's voice.

The ingenious crossbow is a reduced version of the military crossbow. Although its power is only half of that of the military crossbow, it is far superior to ordinary bows in terms of penetration and rate of fire. And the most important point is that this kind of crossbow is relatively small. So it is easy to carry, coupled with the small size, the sound when shooting will be relatively small. Therefore, it is very suitable for night raids, jungles, mountains and other combat situations. It can be regarded as the standard configuration of mountain troops with relatively high standards and combat effectiveness on the mainland.

Cecilia was able to tell the difference precisely because the sound of this kind of crossbow firing was different from ordinary arrows.

However, because the Kingdom of Ryan lacks the three materials and related technologies necessary to make this kind of crossbow, it is imported from neighboring countries by purchasing, and it is a prohibited resource at the military level. There are express regulations in the country that no nobles are allowed private military procurement. Therefore, the only way for Ryan to obtain a clever crossbow is to let his private army qualify as a regular army of Ryan. And after reporting and applying to the Ryan military department, it is possible to get it.

According to Sean's current knowledge, there are only three legions in the entire Ryan that have such military first-level banned resources. Among them happened to be the Gray Wolf Blades of the Finnstein family.

"This is munitions, are the people from Gray Wolf Blade crazy!" Hearing Cecilia's voice, Sean's voice also cursed, "Not only did they not even put on a little camouflage, they directly dispatched the entire army They robbed and killed us. Now they are even using military supplies, aren’t they afraid of causing an uproar in the empire!”

"If they can kill us, they can be said to be conducting a military exercise." Cecilia's voice was much calmer, but the strong magic wave burst out completely from inside the carriage.

At this moment, both Sean and Cecilia knew very well that with the condition of this carriage, it was impossible to block these crossbow arrows.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sean stretched out his right hand suddenly. He shouted in a deep voice, "Get down!"

Immediately, a strong black glow emanated from the sword of the Black King.

I saw Xiao En slashing back with his backhand sword without looking back.

With just one sword, the entire carriage compartment was completely cut off, exposing the entire interior of the carriage compartment. At the same time, flames blooming like a lotus flower suddenly exploded in the carriage, surrounding the entire carriage one after another and burning in the air. The temperature of these raging flames is extremely high, but even so, they still cannot block all the arrows that are coming at them. There are always a few that can penetrate the layers of protection of these raging flames, but at this level, the threatening Naturally, it is not as scary as it was at the beginning.

But even so, it must be treated with caution.

Perhaps Sean can not be afraid of the strong shots of these military crossbows, but a magician with a fragile body like Cecilia must pay special attention.

The concept of "strong combat unit" specially established for the strong refers to normal soldiers who do not use special equipment. Unfortunately, military items such as the Ingenious Crossbow happen to belong to the list of "special equipment".

A series of dense jingling sounds sounded one after another, and the Black King waved a black light curtain covering an extremely wide range in Xiao En's hands, blocking all the fish that slipped through the net. In fact, if these crossbow arrows had not been weakened by Cecilia's fire lotus, Sean might not have been able to block them so easily, after all, there were too many crossbow arrows.

"We give up the carriage!"

Xiao En let out a deep voice, and swiped his sword at the same time. A black sword energy shot out of the air and shot towards the mountain path on the left, blasting out a piece of rubble. En struck with a sword. However, after swinging this sword, Xiao En didn't even look at the result of the battle. He leaned over and picked up Xuefanio who was sleeping on the bed, then carried it on his back, turned around and jumped onto the Immediately to the car.

At this time, Cecilia had already jumped onto another horse. Seeing that Sean also jumped onto the horse's back, with a flick of his finger, two sparks shot towards the lasso between the carriage and the horse. , burn it directly. Immediately afterwards, Sean and Cecilia gently knocked on the horse's belly, and the two horses fled forward quickly. However, because they were not war horses, it was naturally difficult to control them, but Sean and Cecilia The two of them are also not ordinary people: Cecilia uses magic and spirit to calm the horse so that it will not lose control in this war situation.

Xiao En is much simpler and rougher. Once the strong coercion is released, the war horse will be obedient and obedient. He doesn't even need to control it. He just needs to make a gap in his coercion pressure field. Get off the horse and it will run forward automatically.

"What about Rena and the others?" Cecilia asked.

"Don't worry about them." Sean said in a deep voice, "Rina is with Vinia and Marton. It will definitely be fine. What I am most worried about right now is Hampson."

Think of Hampson. Cecilia also felt a little uneasy.

If Reina, Vinia, and Marton join forces, unless it is a large-scale army encirclement and annihilation battle, they will definitely not be able to stop the three of them. However, it will take time and a large number of troops to carry out a large-scale regional blockade and then carry out a war of encirclement and annihilation. It is impossible to do it with a gray wolf blade alone. . Rui Na and the others had already left.

After all, in terms of fighting power alone, Rena's fighting power is much stronger than Sean's, even if they can't exert their full strength now. But the combination of the three may not be so weak. But Hampson is different, he is just a very ordinary civilian, in such a war environment, he has no means or ability to protect himself at all. Unless he is lucky enough.

"It's not suitable for you to go with me now." Sean said in a deep voice. "Their target should be me, you are not safe with me!"

"Do you think I'm safe if you let me go?" Cecilia asked back, "Now my name is Cecilia Connelly, not Cecilia Rember, so you really think I Is it safe to walk away from you?"

"Damn it!" Sean cursed, and the movements of his hands didn't stop at all. The Black King didn't look like a sword in Sean's hand, but like a shield. He was slightly half a horse behind Cecilia, but he blocked all the crossbow arrows from the left and right sides. It's just that even if he can hold back, the tiger's mouth on his right hand has been shattered, and blood drips down on the ground drop by drop, leaving a long trail of blood.

And Cecilia, at this time, also vented her anger on the mountain roads on both sides.

Eighteen flames of Solomon outlined eighteen dark red flame flowers in the air, and with Cecilia's mental traction, they shot out to both sides.

These flame flowers looked like little ones, but when they fell on the mountain roads on both sides, they directly smashed into a huge fire pit, and their power was not much weaker than ordinary fourth-level magic. Of course, if these eighteen flames are combined, the power will be quasi-level nine magic. Although such power is very terrifying, in terms of the breadth of the target, it is naturally not as good as taking apart the eighteen flame flowers to use.

Perhaps it was because the attack area was too wide and the losses to Gray Wolf Blade were too large. The Gray Wolf Blade soldiers on both sides of the mountain road quickly chose to withdraw and did not continue to attack Xiao En and others. But even so, Sean never dared to take it lightly and relax, because the response of the Finnstein family this time has completely exceeded Sean's expectations, even compared to Dovigo, who is now nominally a blood relative. The family has to be more advanced.

Sean knew that things were likely to far exceed the expectations of him, William, Hela and others in a certain link. Otherwise, they would not have encountered a direct night attack from the three rangers belonging to Gray Wolf Blade on the night when they entered the territory of the Finnstein family. In the case of soft hands, but even so, Gray Wolf Blade has no intention of withdrawing troops and retreating. It is completely rushing forward to fight to the death. Even if it can bite Xiao En and others before dying, it is good.

And this fight, which lasted for more than half an hour, was no less tragic than any war Xiao En experienced in the southern battlefield. There are more than a hundred Gray Wolf Blade soldiers who lost the ability to fight again, not to mention those who were directly shot dead by Xiao En and others on the spot, but they didn't have the slightest fear. And the Gray Wolf Blades of the three Ranger Troops had a total of 3,000 people, which was completely inconsistent with the 500 people Xiao En had guessed, so he also had to order a temporary retreat.

But the strategic goal of Gray Wolf Blade seems to be to force Sean and others to retreat from the very beginning, so when Sean and others retreat while fighting, the people of Gray Wolf Blade seem to be more excited. Like a stimulant, he attacked desperately. In the end, in order to protect Cefanio, Rina and Vinia voluntarily stayed behind, letting Sean, Cecilia, Marton, and Hampson take Cefanio away first.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a high-ranking gold powerhouse suddenly appeared on the way and forcibly separated Marton, Sean and the others. At this time, Hampson was also sent flying due to the impact on the carriage, and his life and death were unknown.

So far, Sean and Cecilia were the only ones who finally managed to break out of the night attack encirclement.

But the following situation didn't get any better. The attacks one after another were like a series of attacks, which kept Sean and Cecilia from resting in the slightest. Obviously, the opponent who sits in charge of commanding this war must be a powerful general who has participated in countless wars, and has also fought head-on with the real strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the strong to be so clear when facing the army greatest weakness.

As long as you are still a human being, your physical strength cannot be endless, which is why the crowd tactics will become very effective when facing the strong. Because in the end, the vast majority of strong men were besieged to death precisely because they were so soft in killing that they didn't even have the strength to escape. It's just that in the face of the frantic killing of the strong, few troops can withstand the fear of death and persevere.

But unfortunately, the gray wolf blade with the rare trait of "resilience" happens to be the nemesis of Xiao En and others. (To be continued...)

Therefore, I think it is meaningless and meaningless to simply take it out for comparison and then talk nonsense.
